Chapter 959: "Savior" Lin Yi

Lin Yi, who returned to China, once again became the object of worship of the fans.

Because of Lin Yi, the current domestic basketball atmosphere is at an all-time high. Even when they debuted, many young fresh meats would emphasize that they can play basketball and play it very handsomely, so as to attract the attention of female fans.

And even though he is married, Lin Yi is still very lethal to female fans. It's a pity that every time an event is held, Aomei is on the side, which makes Lin Yi dare to make a mistake?

Looking at Aomei's concerned eyes, Lin Yi chose Congxin.

Closer to home.

Lin Yi's trip back to China was quite pleasant. In Shanghai, Dayao and Lin Yi had a chat about the future development of Chinese basketball.

Because the 2019 Men's Basketball World Cup will be held in China, the pressure on Dayao, who has now become Chairman Yao, is not small.

Dayao told Lin Yi that he plans to create more and better opportunities for young Chinese players to play in the United States in the next few years.

Lin Yi agrees with this very much, because even if these young people can't play in the NBA, it doesn't matter, as long as they can go to the summer league to practice in summer, it is also great.

In addition, Zhou Qi, nicknamed "Little Devil", will formally run for election next year. Dayao asks Lin Yi to take care of him if he is free.

In this life, Zhou Qi's style was greatly influenced by Lin Yi, because his frame was naturally small, so Lin Yi asked him to pay more attention to shooting training.

To put it bluntly... In the current version, it is right to practice shooting well.

Zhou Qi has a good touch. With a height of 216 cm, he is among the best three-pointers in this year's men's basketball training team.

According to rumors, the NBA is currently most interested in him is the Huskies.

Lin Yi gave Zhou Qi a lot of advice, and even told him that if he is selected by a strong team next year, he should quickly find a way to trade to a weak team.

Because the current nba is very strong and weak, those strong teams are nothing more than the universe team, it is difficult for Zhou Qi to get playing time in that kind of team, and in contrast, if Zhou Qi can really be selected by the Huskies, then Lin Yi is optimistic that he can at least make a living in the NBA.

Dayao and Lin Yi chatted very happily. In this life, Dayao has won the championship and his career total score has successfully exceeded 10,000. In the future, the Rockets will retire his jersey and he will be selected into the Hall of Fame.

Therefore, in Dayao's view, his little brother was sent by heaven to save Chinese basketball.

Well... In fact, where does Chinese basketball need to be rescued?

The football next door needs to be saved.

In Lin Yi's previous life, the popularity of basketball in China has never been low. It is said that the Chinese men's basketball team has no successors, but if this is said to those Asian opponents, they will cry and faint in the toilet.

As for football?

From an optimistic point of view, it is enough to be happy. From a pessimistic point of view, there are more than 1 billion people with you anyway, and you will not be able to see the day when the national football team enters the World Cup. Why worry?

...

On the 10th, Lin Yi took Aomei to Beijing. After carrying out several commercial activities according to the original plan, Lin Yi also met two vice presidents of the NBA.

Tatum and Jaylendis, who are responsible for the operation and promotion of the nba Asia-Pacific region, chatted and laughed with Lin Yi. Now China is the nba's largest overseas market, and Lin Yi is currently recognized as the number one player in the nba. There is also one-eighth of Chinese blood, so when chatting, the few people have many common topics.

After chatting for a while, Tatum said with emotion: "When I suggested to David to explore overseas markets, who would have thought that the NBA would achieve today's achievements?"

You know, among the four major sports leagues in North America, the most successful overseas market is the nba. Even in the United States, everyone knows nfl, but in China... when it comes to Brady, many people who don't know think that He is an unknown nba role player.

It is said that Xiao Hua is a businessman who understands operations better than Stern. In fact, if Stern didn't pave the way for him, Xiao Hua would take the lead to sign that sky-high TV contract?

In addition, when chatting with Tatum and Jaylendis, Lin Yi found that these two people seemed to be deliberate, always boasting about Stern in front of him, but they kept silent about Xiao Hua.

Of course, Lin Yi, who is extremely politically aware, would not blindly express his opinion even if he noticed something.

During the labor negotiations in 1998, Boss Joe, who had a salary of 30 million at the time, was envied by most players in the league because of his support for the management.

And watching Lin Yi remain silent, Tatum finally lost his composure.

"Lin, I watched this year's finals. As a player, do you like this kind of game?" Wai Guoren was really straightforward, and Tatum made a killer move as soon as he opened his mouth.

You know, as long as you are not a fool, you know that this year's playoffs are being manipulated.

Of course, Tatum knew that Lin Yi was not a fool, so he obviously wanted to gain Lin Yi's position by asking this question knowingly.

Because in the plan of Tatum and Gerondis, Lin Yi is the most critical link.

"As a player, I just want to concentrate on the game." However, Lin Yi's answer is also very old-fashioned, because no matter how the league's top management changes, as a player, Lin Yi really only wants to play basketball honestly.

After all, there are some things that he shouldn't worry about.

"What if in the future, something happens to the point that you can't even concentrate on the game?" Tatum continued to ask.

Lin Yi frowned. After Tatum said this, Lin Yi was very convinced that the top management of the league was not monolithic. At least...there are currently two vice presidents of the NBA who have criticized Xiao Hua's actions. There has been dissatisfaction.

Lin Yi knew very well that it was all because of the butterfly effect he brought.

To put it bluntly... the Chinese market in this life is far from what Lin Yi had in his previous life. Therefore, Lin Yi's words are just like the old hooligans back then. have a very profound impact.

Tatum and Gerondis have foreseen what the future of the NBA will look like. When the balance cannot be maintained, no matter how many benefits there are, the NBA will eventually go downhill.

In Tatum's words, it is not Lin Yi who needs the NBA, but the NBA needs Lin Yi.

As early as a few days ago, Tatum expressed his views to Jalendis.

"Adam thought that by suppressing Lin and the Knicks, he would win more stars..."

"But having worked with David for decades, it's clear to me that we don't need to maintain balance when all the balance is thrown off."

"Just like when Michael returned to the league back then, since Lin has the potential to surpass Michael, why don't we carry out a 'god-making' thoroughly?"

"David set a precedent back then, and Lin won the MVP four times in a row. This is because David knows very well that with the skyrocketing salary space in the NBA, those ambitious teams will definitely take advantage of the trend to rise."

"Adam is wrong, and his fault is that he interfered too much in this era. In fact, the easiest way is to let the players do it themselves. If Lin has the ability to rule this era, it can only show The incompetence of the other players."

"We just need to formulate the rules. After this short transition period between new and old contracts, the league will return to its original rhythm."

"Isn't the reason why the NBA attracts so much is the passionate game?"

"With a topic player like Lin, what do we need to do? We just need to watch the show quietly." Tatum's plan is very simple. To put it bluntly, Silver wants to learn from Stern to maintain balance, but he can't do it To level a bowl of water like Stern.

Take Lillard, the leading star of the Trail Blazers in Lin Yi's previous life, as an example.

Just looking at the data and performance, Lillard has long been a star player, and even in the hearts of Portland fans, Lillard is a proper super giant.

But in the eyes of most fans... Who is Lillard tm?

In Lin Yi's previous life, when the ratings of the nba dropped, Xiao Hua blamed the Warriors and the league's team spirit prevailing.

But in fact... If the era of the universe and Baotuan are inevitable things, isn't Xiao Hua's self-righteous script that really affects the ratings?

The mvp that should be given to Harden will not be given, I agreed to look at the data, but in the end, I will show you the record, then I agreed to look at the record, and finally I will show you the data...

To be honest, only Harden has a big heart, if Lin Yi, he would have turned the table with Xiao Hua long ago.

Including this year's finals, the Knicks' coaching staff actually had to study how to play five-on-eight before the game, instead of how to crack the Lakers' tactics...

This kind of NBA and this kind of basketball game is obviously unacceptable to most fans.

Because when basketball is no longer full of enthusiasm, no longer full of competition, and even a sissy little fresh meat can speak for it, what is the meaning of this kind of basketball?

Therefore, in the eyes of Tatum and Jaylendis, Lin Yi is the savior of Chinese basketball... This guy is simply sent by God to save the NBA in this period.

If it wasn't for Lin Yi...can this year's playoffs repeatedly break ratings records?

If it weren't for Lin Yi, would the NBA be able to count money in China and wake up laughing quickly?

Back then, Stern made the first four MVPs on Lin Yi, because the little Jewish old man knew that there would be one or two perverts in every era, and Lin Yi, the pervert among these perverts, since he stopped No, it's better to help him from the perspective of fairness and justice.

Because if Lin Yi really became, or even surpassed, the Jordan of the year, would the nba in this era still lack attention?

of course not.

Because the nba in the 90s is still exciting, isn't it?

The i’m. back sentence of the old hooligan even made countless fans go crazy.

And in Stern's eyes back then, what he admired most about Lin Yi was that the kid never hugged each other.

Don't be surprised, don't look at the strong lineup of the Knicks...but they are also selected year after year, including Paul, who is also exchanged for the second master and the super sixth man.

Since in this era, the alliance cannot prevent the occurrence of Baotuan, wouldn't it be good to let Lin Yi destroy this era?

Let Lin Yi tell those players who think that they can succeed by teaming up, in basketball games, you need to be hard on your own, okay?

Therefore, before he was about to retire, Stern told Xiao Hua that he must learn to be a bowl of water.

It's a pity that Xiao Hua got it wrong.

And now, Tatum and Jalendis intend to right that wrong.

...

After the chat with Lin Yi ended, Jalendis said to Tatum with emotion: "Lin... is indeed an admirable player."

Tatum nodded, "That's right, that's why David said back then that Lin was his best partner."

"But, without Lin's help, how would we get here...?" Jaylendis looked at Tatum with some doubts.

"No, he has already agreed. Jaylen, this is a matter that has nothing to do with Lin. As he said, as a player, what he needs to do is to play well?" Tatum suddenly felt ashamed , because these bad things should have been handled by the top management of the alliance themselves, but now...

"Lin agreed?" Gerondis was still puzzled.

"Jaron, do you think that guy Adam will be willing to let the game go on fairly?" Tatum patted Jalen Diss on the shoulder.

Gerondis suddenly realized.

"Wait, when Adam completely angers Lin, that's the best time for us to make a move. Lin is right. What players have to do is to play well, but as the league executives, what we have to do is to let Players can play well with peace of mind," Tatum said.
